Christian Scott's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

New York Mets starting pitcher Christian Scott (elbow) is hopeful to get back on the mound before the end of the 2024 season. The right-hander was recently placed on the 15-day injured list due to a right elbow UCL sprain. Often times this type of injury requires surgery, but Scott is going to try the rest route first. The 25-year-old has solid potential but hasn't put it all together yet. Scott holds a 4.56 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, and 39/12 K/BB ratio across nine starts this season. Most fantasy managers should feel safe moving on from Scott.

The New York Mets placed rookie right-hander Christian Scott (elbow) on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to July 22) with a right-UCL sprain on Tuesday and recalled left-handed reliever Alex Young from Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding move. This is pretty bad news for the young 25-year-old pitching prospect, as this could lead to Tommy John surgery, which would sideline him for the rest of 2024 and most, if not all, of next year as well. Fantasy managers in single-year leagues shouldn't expect Scott to be of much use for the rest of this season, if he even makes it back to New York's rotation. He'll be replaced in the rotation by Kodai Senga (shoulder, triceps), who will make his season debut on Friday against Atlanta. Scott debuted to much fanfare in 2024, only to go 0-3 with a 4.56 ERA and 1.20 WHIP with a below-average 19.8% strikeout rate and eight homers allowed in nine starts (47 1/3 innings).

New York Mets starting pitching prospect Christian Scott has struggled to generate strikeouts at an elite rate in the big leagues as he did in the minor leagues earlier this summer. Through his past three starts in the majors, Scott has logged 15 innings to the tune of a 5.17 ERA and 1.15 WHIP with only 10 punchouts. However, earlier this summer at Triple-A, the Florida product struck out 55 batters in just 42 frames. In addition, last season at Double-A, the right-hander tallied 77 strikeouts in just 62 innings. The 25-year-old's workload is also being monitored by the Mets, which could play a role in his second-half production. Scott is still worth holding onto in standard leagues as he has showcased elite strikeout potential in the past, but his ceiling may remain limited as he continues to get accustomed to the big leagues.
